16v head

Post by larky »

I have looked at previous threads and tried to determine weather a 16v head from a KR K-Jet injection will bolt on top of a 8v head from a DX K-Jet injection engine?
Sound like it shouldn't to me for some reaon

It will bolt on but some of the oil holes are in the wrong place and the compression ratio will be low.

Yeah it will bolt on but won't work!
As stated some diferences in 'holes' also you would need to block off dizzy hole and intermediate shaft gearing is different as well as other stuff. Not a goer really.
Go 2.0 litre more torque and a straight swap if you can find the right 'bubble' block.

Though as much, the digifant head won't fit a dx engine either will it, sure its got to be a k-jet injection head?
